Protecting Your New Baby 

Pomerene Hospital has installed the Safe Place® Infant & Pediatric Security Solution, which is specifically designed to protect infants from an abduction using wireless technology.Each infant wears a small, lightweight transmitter around his or her ankle.Tags continuously communicate, or “check in,” with wireless equipment on the maternity unit.If someone tries to leave with an infant wearing a tag, the system will alarm.

Lifting Hearts Bereavement Program

The Lifting Hearts Bereavement Program hosts an Annual Memorial Service and Butterfly Release event that takes place at the Pomerene Memory Garden on a Sunday afternoon in June and is designed to honor families who have suffered an infant loss. There is special music and a devotional, followed by parents placing memorial stones and releasing butterflies in memory of their babies. A dessert reception tops off the event. Parents are encouraged to invite family and friends to join in this celebration of life. 
 

Our trained bereavement nurses are available to support you and your family through an infant loss during pregnancy. Please call the maternity unit at 330-674-1584 Ext. 1290 for more information.
